ABP became it's own ad network. https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/13/adblock-plus-acceptable-ads-platform/ My understanding is they only allow non-intrusive ads. Like on GameFAQs, I see the Amazon shop now ad at the bottom, but all the others are hidden (and from what I've seen in screenshots, I can see why). I like this option. Does uBlock have something similar, or is it an unconditional "block everything"? --- https://imgtc.com/i/0mboxsZ.png <-- Tiamat is best babe, if you disagree you're objectively wrong. https://tinyurl.com/dtlamulana2 <-- La-Mulana 2 LP <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:913487313] in Would you ...

You can muck around in the filters, I guess. Incidentally, NoScript is one of the best ad-blockers out there. That's the threshold of "acceptable ads". <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:913487742] in Would you ... [t:77265282]...</cite> <quote><cite>DarkTransient posted...</cite> <quote>I like this option.
